Topic: Add something to the user information block(solved)

[xxwckdxx]

i see the code for how many unread messages but is there a way to make it so if the value is one or more it will display the "new" image next to it? to make it more noticable?

Code: [Select]

if(allowedTo('pm_read'))
echo '
<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/dot.gif" alt="', $txt['sp-dot'], '" /> ', $txt['sp-usertmessage'], ': <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=pm">' . $context['user']['messages'], '</a><br />
<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/dot.gif" alt="', $txt['sp-dot'], '" /> ', $txt['sp-usernmessage'], ': ' . $context['user']['unread_messages'], '<br /><br />'
thats the code i have copied from the source

figured it out myself

Glad that you could get it solved. Would be good if you can share your solution, as other may need this in the future.

this is what i changed the code to and i uploaded the gif image i made to the root directory

Code: [Select]

if(allowedTo('pm_read'))
echo '
<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/dot.gif" alt="', $txt['sp-dot'], '" /> ', $txt['sp-usertmessage'], ': <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=pm">' . $context['user']['messages'], '</a><br />
<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/dot.gif" alt="', $txt['sp-dot'], '" /> ', $txt['sp-usernmessage'], ': ' . $context['user']['unread_messages'], '&nbsp';
//Do we have some new pms? Show the newest.
if(!empty($context['user']['unread_messages'])) {
echo '<center><a href="'.$scripturl.'?action=pm" alt="You have recieved a new Private Message"><img src="'.$scripturl.'/newmessage.gif"></a></center>';
}

What file are you editing?

[xxwckdxx]

/Sources/SPortal1-1.php

i also updated it now so it plays a "You've Got Mail" wav file when there is new mail

[mrtrc266]

Seems like it work ok but my newmessage.gif is pulling from here on just showing a little red X

http://monsters-mansion.com/index.phpnewmessage.gif

any ideas on how to fix it?

[xxwckdxx]

change

Code: [Select]

<img src="'.$scripturl.'/newmessage.gif"></a></center>';

to

Code: [Select]

<img src="/newmessage.gif"></a></center>';
that should work

[mrtrc266]

That worked

Thank you very much

[mrtrc266]

BTW

i also updated it now so it plays a "You've Got Mail" wav file when there is new mail

for your audible PM are you saying that you added that to your code or you got the Audible PM Mod?

I have the mod but can't get it to work in my custom theme

[xxwckdxx]

i downloaded it changed my mind of using that one because it used a flash file for the sound so i added my own code and found a .wav file to use

[mrtrc266]

If and when you get a code block put together that would be great! I'd love to try it.

Thanks in advance.

[xxwckdxx]

[mrtrc266]

Cool Cool, I'll be lookin forward to it

Thanks again

change the code i gave u to

Code: [Select]

//Do we have some new pms? Show the newest.
if(!empty($context['user']['unread_messages'])) {
echo '<center><a href="'.$scripturl.'?action=pm" alt="You have recieved a new Private Message"><img src="/newmessage.gif"></a></center><EMBED SRC="/gotmail.wav" AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="true" LOOP="false">';
}
and then download http://CockerSpanielPad.com/gotmail.zip then put the wav file in the same place as u put newmessage.gif
